Declining Foot Traffic At Malls Continuing - Is Fear Playing A Part? The Hidden
Impact of The Active ShooterMuch has been reported about the 18% decrease in mall foot traffic over the last
three years, amounting to 16 billion fewer consumers annually, according to one
study. Experts point to the impact of the internet, mobile devices, the
time-strapped consumer, the changing behavior of the Millennials, the success of
the warehouse clubs, super centers, and dollar stores. But have we considered
the spike in active shooters, the increase in violence, the insistence of a few
to practice "open carry", the movie theater mass killing incident, and all the
other incidents that the media and the internet have saturated our society and
our consumers with? And now the "Terror in the Mall" documentary airing
nationwide - all of the above helping to fuel a fear factor that up until now no
one was even
mentioning as a potential reason why some consumers may be avoiding malls. When
in fact, fear is the most powerful driver of human behavior. Can you honestly say
you haven't thought about it the last time you walked a mall? I have and quite
frankly we've heard consumers talking about it virtually everywhere we go. Just
recently, we heard a number of mall-based specialty retailers say they're
seeing even more of a dramatic drop in foot traffic this year. Has something changed
over the last six months? Other than more active shooters, workplace deaths,
mall violence, and parking lot shootings. With all these being reported
real-time - coupled with the data breaches, the loss of our personal
information and invasion of our privacy - and what we have is a scared consumer.
One who wants to stay away from closed-in areas, crowds and have the ability to run
to safety. It's our opinion that all of these factors are playing a part in the
redefining of retail. It might be time to re-invent mall security and even
re-invent specialty-store loss prevention from the standpoint of consumer
safety. Maybe even using it in the marketing efforts: to reassure the consumer
that their safety is the #1 concern that a retailer is dedicated to. Much too
often we hear it after an incident, which is like closing the barn door after the
horses have all left. Maybe it's time to put it up front and develop a proactive
campaign to make consumers feel safe and important. After all, isn't that all of
our objectives? We understand that Retail Means Jobs, but shouldn't it
also be Retail Means Safety as well?

Payment Vendor 'Signature Systems' PDQ POS - Hackers used to get into 216 Jimmy
John's + 100 other small restaurants Hackers had installed
card-stealing malware on cash registers at some of its store locations. Jimmy
John’s said the intrusion - which lasted from June 16, 2014 to Sept. 5, 2014 -
occurred when hackers compromised the username and password needed to remotely
administer point-of-sale systems at 216 stores. Those point-of-sale systems were
produced by Newtown, Pa., based payment vendor Signature Systems. In a statement
issued in the last 24 hours, Signature Systems released more information about
the break-in, as well as a list of nearly 100 other stores - mostly small
mom-and-pop eateries and pizza shops - that were compromised in the same attack.
We have determined that an unauthorized person gained access to a user name and
password that Signature Systems used to remotely access POS systems," the
company wrote. "The unauthorized person used that access to install malware
designed to capture payment card data from cards that were swiped through
terminals in certain restaurants. The malware was capable of capturing the
cardholder's name, card number, expiration date, and verification code from the
magnetic stripe of the card." (Source

laws Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, state Rep. Allen Fletcher (R-Cypress),
Grand Prairie Police Chief Steve Dye, National Insurance Crime Bureau
President/CEO Joe Wehrle and others conducted a news conference last week to
stress the importance of stopping cargo theft. Dye said Fletcher will introduce
legislation during the January session to toughen laws regarding cargo theft. He
said a member of the Tarrant County District Attorney's office was at the news
conference as well, saying that the new law would help prosecutors in trying
cargo theft cases. Texas has surpassed California recently in the number of
cargo thefts. The North Texas area, because of all the highways and trucks, also
has seen an increase in incidents. Dye said Grand Prairie has a dedicated unit
that looks at cargo theft. He said 69 criminal investigations with property
value of more than $4 million has identified 16 suspects, yielded six federal
indictments with an additional seven indictments sought. (Source

Are mobile payments secure enough to go mainstream?
Although recent massive data breaches compromising consumers' personal and
financial information have occurred using old-fashioned credit cards, security
concerns about mobile payments are a major reason why they've been adopted so
slowly. Perhaps that's why Apple has agreed to include Softcard, a mobile
payment wallet backed by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless, on its phones,
despite their competition. It helps make each of the various wallets available
on a broad range of retail point of sales systems. Several experts say that mobile payments are indeed more secure than
old-fashioned credit cards: They use various combinations of encrypted data,
one-time-use codes, and layers of authentication not possible when swiping a
plastic card with a set string of numbers and a magnetic stripe. Some use NFC
technology, while CurrentC employs bar codes that can be scanned using existing
systems. (Source

Macy's seasonal hires to include 3,000 in stores for online business
For the first time Macy's is hiring 3,000 temporary employees for its stores to
fulfill orders placed online for store pickup, ship online orders from stores
and handle in-store returns of web orders. Macy's is hiring extra workers to
handle fulfillment in its store this year now that it has completed the rollout
of its buy online, pickup in store program. Consumers also can return online
orders to the 800 Macy's and 37 Bloomingdale's stores nationwide owned by Macy's
Inc. The hiring reflects a series of investments by Macy's to enable consumers
to move easily between buying, ordering and returning items online and in
stores. More initiatives are coming this fall, including a test of same-day
delivery from Macy's stores and, in October, Macy's joining several other
retailers in letting shoppers pay in stores with their new iPhone 6 smartphones
from Apple Inc., using the Apple Pay pay-with-a-wave system Apple announced this
month. Internet Retailer estimates Macy's generated $4.15 billion in online
orders in 2013, an increase of 31% from $3.168 billion the prior year.

same period last year. Here's a rundown of what the criminals are doing, and

10 Huge Time-Wasting Mental Habits
We all feel as if there is not enough time in one day to get all of our tasks
done, but we don't really consider that our behaviors suck up our time with no
meaningful purpose. Here are some common time-wasters that we don't really need.

To Build Influence, Master How You Enter a Room Leadership is about
presence as much as it is experience or skill level. If you can't show people
you care, or that you can keep your cool under pressure, how will you earn
followers? All of this starts with how you enter a room. Look for these
behavioral clues. (Unconscious
cues)

Interacting in large networking groups can be very challenging
even for the most seasoned of executives. The speed, the number of people, and
the amount of information shared can be overwhelming. However, the one basic
principal you can rely on is keep it simple, one person at a time and focus on
that person both mentally and visually. Slow it down in your head and make sure
you communicate clearly and sincerely regardless of the background you have with
anyone or any group. Because at the end of the day you're all part of the same
industry, the same community, and everyone has the same objective: to help
develop and represent the industry as professionals.
